Summary

National Sea Grant College Program Amendments Act of 2008 - Amends the National Sea Grant College Program Act to substitute "extension services" for "advisory services" in the definition of "project" and to add definitions for "regional research and information plan" and "National Ocean Research Priorities Plan and Implementation Strategy." Adds regional and national projects as elements of the national sea grant college program. Removes a reference to the sea grant review panel from provisions relating to the administration of the program. Refers to regional or national strategic investments being developed in consultation with the board and with the approval of sea grant colleges and the sea grant institutes. (Current law refers to the approval of the sea grant review panel as well as the colleges and institutes.) Revises the program director's duties. Modifies requirements regarding limits on: (1) grants and contracts to assist sea grant programs and projects; and (2) special grants to promote a strong educational base, research and training, dissemination of knowledge and techniques, and multidisciplinary approaches to environmental problems. Requires that sea grant colleges provide extension services (currently, advisory services). Redesignates the sea grant review panel as the National Sea Grant Advisory Board and modifies it's duties. Authorizes appropriations through FY2014. Repeals provisions regulating the distribution of any appropriated amounts exceeding the amounts appropriated for FY2003.
